What do you mean, Jelly Bean? I don't even know if I recall your name...other than Edwina's Secretary.....he he he..


As to the meowing..my cats meow to one another...though, it is more with me than with them. I think you might slow down the introduction a little bit...so that everyone can acclimate some more before Flint decides he wants everyone to be his best buddy.

He's so cute! I like the name Lightning and Cirrus.

Actually I believe it to be very good news that Flint is persistant. They will get together much faster with that attitude. Flint REALLY wants to be friends, the others will realize this a lot sooner than if he sulked away all the time. But I do agree about the separation when You are not home. And that will give Sunny and Storm that much needed rest period.
(listen to me......I sound like some kind of expert *embarrassed face*) heehee

Oh yay, I was hoping the delay in your posting meant you were bringing the cutie pie home!

I have no ideas for names - anyway, if I offered suggestions it would probably be Mustard, Mayo or some other condiment like my last two

Congratulations!

I LOOOOOVE the name SKYE!!!! That is my vote.

I used to associate it with the female char on General Hospital too but we have a dog at work right now named Sky (short for Skylar) and I think its pretty for a male also now.

Congrats on your new addition!! Yes, I think the introductions will take time!! When I first introduced Jonah and Finn - I was hoping they were going to be insta-buddies since they were both young (Jonah was 9 mos and Finn was 16 weeks) - but to much of my disappointment, that did not happen! Jonah constantley beat him up & Finn peed all over my bed, Jonah's kitty bed and the toys 7 months later, while they're not "best buds" and I very rarely catch them cuddling together, they are much much better than when we first started! They act so much like siblings!!! It's hysterical to watch sometimes.

On the name thing...I really do like Flint - he looks like a "Flint"

Tracey,How cute that Flint is meowing at them when they hiss. Almost like he's trying to talk to them...too cute! I'm sure they'll all come around, but I agree that you should slow down the introductions. Storm and Sunny may feel too intimidated to be friends just yet.

I can't wait to hear more about him and see more pictures...but, I'll be patient.

Okay everyone. Here are some pictures of ? He didn't like the flash very much so he closed his eyes in most of these pics. Here's my big boy.

[shais_mom]

He has incredible markings!!! What a gorgeous kitty!!
I kinda like Flint, it seems to suit him and it takes Flint to make Fire so.....
But I LOVE THE NAME CIRRUS!!! I agree that you should add a white cat to the mix sometime. (Coming from a white cat momma Cirrus would be an awesome name for a white cat, or Blizzard or Polar.
Sky/Skye/Skylar also has my vote!!!

KAK, I still think you should get a white cat too, then it would be easy to give it a name like Snowy!
More name ideas, I know some have been mentioned already,
Sleet(I like it too WolfQ), Slushy, Smoggy, Hazy, Smokey, Steely(that fits with the name Flint and steel gray skies),
Sky can also be short for Skylar, Windy(but that seems to be a girl name),how about Gusty or Gus for short?
Good luck with picking a name!I hope you will post some new photos soon!

About your meowing question, when my neighbors got a kitten and it kept coming into our yard, Samantha would hiss at her to scare her away and she would answer with this pitiful meow as if pleading don't hurt me! Now that they have had the cat for a few years she still comes in the yard but usually leaves when she sees Samantha. I think it may mean that the new cat is saying "Please like me" but it doesn't sound like Flint will be the alpha cat. Which one of your cats seems to be the boss one?

Sorry but 3 cats are my limit unless I move to a house. Storm is the alpha cat, the first cat here, and the oldest too. So far I like these names the best: Cirrus, Skylar, and Flint. Please keep the names coming.

AWWWWWWWWWWW AWWWWWWWWWWW AWWWWWWWWWW! He looks like a CHEETAH! That is my dream kitty! Congratulations! Name him Cheetah! He looks like one.

Awww, he's a very handsome boy. He looks so much at home already

Flint is a dream kitty. So beautiful. He should get a name for a strong and quiet cat -Lightning or Cirrus sound to me like a thin a nervous cat. Lightning would be a good name for Abys
Cloud would be nice to as a name. And he has wonderful dark clouds on his fur

Wow! Tracey he is absolutely stunning!
